Purchased this to renovate my collection of old G clamps. I was advised over the phone to go for the semi gloss as this is in keeping with Record's colour scheme.
I was pleasantly surprised how much coverage you get from a 1/2 litre tin. I've managed to paint 8 clamps, 3 large vices and a wood turning lathe with 3/4 of the tine.
The paint contains good pigmentation so I found a single coat on bare metal is sufficient with most castings.
You need to be well prepared and work quickly on large smooth surfaces to avoid the paint dragging. (this maybe down to climatic conditions) For such surfaces a few drops of white spirit helps prolong the wet edge. This could effect the gloss finish so experimentation is advisable
I found by dispensing smaller quantities in yogurt pots keeps the original paint tin clean and uncontaminated.
Runs can occur, so advisable to paint in the flat until the paints skin hardens
NB. Spray finish maybe more suitable for large smooth areas.

Advantages: Good coverage
Good pigmentation
Good colour range
Quick drying
Excellent painting advice tab on this website.

Disadvantages: None for the product.
Carriage could seem expensive for a single small tin. I bought Smoke Grey at the same time for a future Boxford Lathe renovation to make it more cost effective.

Advantages: Great selection.
Perfect colour match for vintage items.
Easy application with a brush.
Brush is cleaned easily with turps.

Superb product and excellent service. Thank you. This is the second time I have purchased this paint and it gives an excellent finish; smooth and very easy to apply to bare steel or pre-painted metal. Paint tin lid is taped and clipped and tin itself is well packed so completely safe in transit. Will definitely buy again from this supplier.

This customer purchased the item at our site.
It arrived in 2-3 days, good and secure packing, tape on lid and air tight plastic around the can, now I do this after painting. Colour is exactly what I need, I am restoring a record 52 vise, happy with it.

This is the second enamel paint I've used from Paragon and the first time brushing it on. Colour is spot on, good pricing and quick delivery.

Advantages: Goes on nice, brush marks disappear leaving a smooth uniformed finish. Can't comment on durability.

Disadvantages: Ordered 500ml for a No6 vice and I've used maybe 150ml...
